I am a u.s. citizen, but my spouse is not. Our child was born outside the united states and I want the child to be a u.s. citizen. How do go about it?
If your child was born after November 14, 1986 you will have to be able to demonstrate that you as a U.S. citizen were physically present in the United States for at least 5 years after you attained age 14 prior to the child's birth. Simply obtain and file INS Form N-600, entitled "Application for Certificate of Citizenship". It may be necessary for the child to actually live in the U.S. for a period of time down the road to avoid losing U.S. citizenship.
